King's Lynn in popular culture[edit]
AfDs for this article:
- King's Lynn in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
List of random references, almost entirely unsourced. Every entry amounts only to "King's Lynn was name dropped here." and nothing else. Not even worth the merge. Last AFD suggested everything from merge, redirect, keep or delete without anyone agreeing on anything after two weeks.

- Delete per WP:TRIVIA, or perhaps a very selective merge into the main article. I suspect all but the tiniest communities could come up with similar lists of random 'mentioned here and there' type stuff. No reason for a seperate article that I can see.

- Delete as above. There are some "X in popular culture" articles that are worth keeping. This isn't one of them. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 20:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- merge any material to parent article. Some references will be notable, but not as a coherent subject. Sourcing will definitely help. The last AfD seemed to have a consensus for merge more than anything else. I hadn't followed what happened afterwards. Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:40, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The subject lacks notability and the content consists of nothing but trivial details. (this is my same opinion as before since the article hasn't become less of a trivia farm nor has the subject gained any notability). ThemFromSpace 21:57, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This doesn't require its own article - the content could be included in the main King's Lynn article as a 'In popular culture' section maybe. Wikiwoohoo (talk) 22:21, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and delete per Starblind and DitzyNizzy. I am well known as an advocate of notable Pop-culture articles, but this is not one of them. The only problem is if King's Lynn becomes too long, so I would edit it down before merger and eventual deletion. A merger would make the parent article stronger, too.

- Delete per nominator's rationale and this. Deor (talk) 02:22, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I was surprised that this was still unresolved. Ten Pound Hammer hit the nail on the head. --Bejnar (talk) 04:55, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
